A portrait of Elizabeth I believed to have been commissioned by her favourite, Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester for Kenilworth Castle. The portrait probably dates to Elizabeth’s most famous visit to Dudley’s residence in 1575. The castle was granted to Dudley in 1563 and he soon began a series of costly renovations. When Elizabeth visited the castle in 1575 (her fourth stay there), Dudley hosted a series of spectacular events, including firework displays, great banquets, masques, - he even had a magnificent garden created that was to last just for her stay. Contemporary rumours focused on Elizabeth and Dudley’s relationship, with some reports alleging that Dudley’s displays were a prelude to a marriage proposal. Whatever Dudley’s intentions – whether merely to dazzle his queen or something more serious – it did not mark a significant step forward in their relationship. Perhaps it was after the visit that Dudley decided to ‘move on’ and marry another, instead of waiting around for the reluctant queen. Though not wishing to marry, Elizabeth was furious when Dudley did tie the knot in secret – and with one of her relatives! Within the portrait Elizabeth is depicted as wearing a white satin doublet decorated with gold thread, button and braid. This may have been a gift from Dudley, given to her at the time of her visit. A matching portrait of Dudley is believed to have been hung nearby.
